General hypothermia of the body can lead to cystitis and acute infectious inflammation of the kidneys. Ekaterina Korseva, therapist, nephrologist, candidate of medical sciences at the SM Clinic in St. Petersburg, told the portal about this “Doctor Peter”.
“Walking in cold weather with a thin jacket with an open waist or stylish fish fur sports boots is not the best option in terms of health. However, in this case, it is extremely difficult to catch a cold in the kidneys, to put it mildly. It is easier to catch a cold and get into general hypothermia,” Korseva explained.
The doctor stated that the kidneys are protected from cold, especially in people with sufficient fat mass. However, general hypothermia reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and increases the risk of colds; This in itself worsens the health of the genitourinary system.
“Painful bacteria begin to multiply and attack various organs, including the genitourinary system. The most vulnerable in this case are people who already have a hidden source of infection in their body. “These may be rotten teeth, inflamed tonsils, intestinal problems,” says the nephrologist.
Cystitis may be accompanied by pyelonephritis, an acute infectious inflammation of the kidneys. It may be caused by bacteria rising from the bladder or viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus.
